Kisses to Buford Betty!

Buford Betty, I am giving you big smooches today! You are my fashion hero!

I wear black slacks and dress shoes most days to work, so I am always on the lookout for a cute, comfy shoe with some sort of heel- being only 5'2", I need a little height. And last March I posted about my latest find, the Madden Upskale pump.

They are absolutely darling and so so comfy. I love the little ruffle and think it gives it a little "something".

Last week Buford Betty posted about some of her baby shower outfits (yay for the soon-to-arrive Buford Betty Baby!), and LOOK LOOK LOOK, she found the same shoe, called Sondra Ruffle, at Target in PEWTER! And RED! AND ONLY $20!!!!!!!

I am sure it goes without saying to say that I ordered them. In two colors.

They arrived last night and fit PERFECT and are exactly like the $50 Maddens. So today I am sporting the Pewter ones along with a company grey cardi and I look FAB. Well, as fab as you can look in company garb.

So I just wanted to give Buford Betty a big shout-out and pass on this fabulous find.

One quick on-line shopping note: Ebates offers 3% back for shopping at Target, so be sure and start your shopping there. And if you are new to Ebates, we'll each get a sign-up bonus of at least $5. (Disclosure: The link to Ebates is a referral link.)

New Shoes!

I pretty much wear black or grey slacks every day, along with a company shirt. Since I'm just barely 5'3", I prefer to wear a slight heel to give me a little extra height.

I needed some new black pumps for my dorky work uniform (I figure at least my shoes can look cool!) and I found these Madden Girl Women's Upskale Pumps locally and I LOVE LOVE LOVE them! (Hate the name though- I have an aversion to purposeful misspelling.)

They are ultra comfy, and I think the black ruffle is just so cute!

My only issue- I paid about $50 locally, and now I see them on Amazon for $25 with free shipping! Drats!

Guess I'll have to average down and order a back up pair..... Hmmm.... I see they also come in grey and raspberry......

It's A Sickness, Really

Xhilaration Tan Stephanie Bow Pump - $19.99

Xhilaration Black Stephanie Bow Pump - $19.99

Mossimo Danae Peeptoe Giraffe - $26.99


Most likely I will be taking the Danae back because it shows a little much toe cleavage for my taste. But the Stephanie is adorable and quite comfy. And she matches my newest Coach purchase.

Where the hell am I going to wear all these shoes?????

Shoe Shopping and Black Friday Report

I picked up some great shoes for myself at Payless in the mall on Black Friday. Yes, I know most people were shopping for Christmas gifts, but that was too overwhelming, so I decided just to shop for me instead!

Champion Fury - $24.99

Champion Globe Mary Jane - $22.99

They are having their BOGO half off sale, so I only paid $11.50 for the brown mary janes (note: I wore a half-size smaller in those than the tennis shoes). If you happen to buying online from Payless, don't you dare forget to go through ebates- you'll get 3% back.

I also picked up some movies at Target: Season 3 of The Office for $14, Devil Wears Prada for $4, and Christmas Vacation for $4.

Before you judge me, I did do a little bit of shopping for others. At Walmart, I got a Cabbage Patch baby for $10, and princess fleece pullover for $4, and a princess backpack for $10. These will probably be part of WC's brithday present.

I should also tell you that my big toe got run over at Walmart at 5 am by a crazy lady and her cart. I haven't taken my polish off yet, but I'm relatively certain my toenail was somewhat damaged. We shall see......

Good Deal Alert: Crocs Pelican Toddler Shoes

Remember how much I love the Crocs Pelican???? Well now you can score a pair for $12.99 with free shipping! The free shipping code is crocsavp08. They have navy for boys, and two different colors for girls.

Now, these only go up to size toddler 8/9, which is what WC wears right now. She's got quite a bit of room left in the lilac , so I ordered the pink ones because I am weak and I cannot resist. Mr. Sasha may be mad at me, but they are only $12.99!

Edited to add: They now have the toddler 10/11 on there in lilac! Don't think I didn't order those too! Mr. Sasha, calm down. They are for next spring.....

Shoe Find

What do you think of these?

Women's Mossimo® Irene Peep-Toe Dress Shoes - Red

$22.50 at Target!

Aren't those precious?

I am pretty sure I need them.

Shoes On the Brain

Melissa noted that I must have "shoes on the brain" since I typed "TV shoes" rather than "TV shows" in my last post....

And I do....

Yesterday I ordered these Royal Elastic Flonica shoes from Zappos.com. (Don't forget to go through ebates!!!!!)

Do we like them?

Luckily, with free shipping both ways, it's no big deal if I don't.

But I think they'll be super-cute with the magic pants!

They were out of 6s, but I went ahead and ordered 6.5 since someone said they run a little small. So we shall see... stay tuned!

Edited to add: Well, the 6.5s are too big! And I can't find 6s anywhere except at Athleta and they never have free shipping......

As for my feet, I did get pretty lucky and they didn't change size after I had kids. But I do have strange feet. I wear a 5.5 or 6 in most shoes, but a 5 in crocs and a 6.5 in running shoes (Brooks). Weird, I know!

Deal on Mammoth Crocs

Just ordered these Mammoth Crocs from REI for $5.83 a pair... WC will love them! I'm not a huge fan, but for $5.83..... that's bargain enough for me!

Shipping is $5.99 and don't forget to go through ebates- link to the right!

Edited to add: looks like deal is now dead- hope you got in on it!

I Am A Fashion Icon

Well, probably not, but I am wearing these today, and how cute are they?????

From Target, these Xhilaration Terra Sandals are just $17.99. They are actually quite comfortable and such a bargain. Be careful, though, since the print is a multi-color floral, the first pair I picked up totally didn't go together- the left one was aqua/green and the right one was pink/grey..... I had to hunt around to find a pair that looked like it was a proper pair of shoes.

They also appear to come in blue/red/beige, possibly the same fabric as the ballet flats I love and get so many comments on...... Hmm.... considering an online order.....

Crocs Pelican

OMG, how freakin cute are these? The Wild Child needs them, obvs, only I need to find them cheaper than the $36 that Zappos has them for..... They also come in hot pink with light pink, which might actually be cuter....
